Wow, I have had the problem of finding small game heads the same weight as my broadheads and field points.  Now I have the answer, thanks guys.

Took a cottontail with a Talon this morning.  If I knew how to get pics off of my phone and on here I'd post a pic   :confused:

I tried the hammerheads but I keep breaking them right behind the head where it necks down to the threads but I shoot a 80@28 longbow with a 900gn arrow so it's hard on any head. I like judo's they hold up great

I like the Ace hex heads.They are inexpensive, and they are hard to lose.

I like the hammers m'self. The 250gn model is devestating! For 'stuff-in-trees' type shooting, a .357 casing glued over a 200gn field tip works very well for me.

Blunts with an adder behind it or a judo point and old broad heads for jack rabbits .
You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.

I have been shooting the 125 Judo for a long time now and I love the way they stop.  My only problem is that they are hard to clean the dirt/grass out from the spring after each shot. Does anyone have a good suggestion?  Here where I shoot the soft, wet dirt really clogs up the point and is hard to remove and of course it throws the weight off as well.

James, I just lift one foot and whack the side of the arrow on the side of my boot. That knocks most of the mud/dirt off the judo, which is good enough for the next shot. I don't see the need to completely clean it before every shot.

Screw top bottle caps. Just drill a hole in the center of them and screw the FP back on. Cheap and good enough on the small stuff.

I prefer the gamenabbers and hexheads for rabbits and squirrels.

Hex heads are nice for the price, but I like the wider impact area of the Hammers for stumping. I shoot a lot of 125's so the Hammers give me better coverage.  They grab better on the ground, grass..... The hex at the larger sizes are fine, but the smaller ones just don't have much area.   For small game the Hex probably has better penetration due to the smaller size.  The VP’s look a lot like a Hammer.  I may have to pick some up.

I see that you are in Colorado and I know you guys may have some drier conditions but for me here in North Georgia, it is more than a wrap on the boot sole.  I try that over and over but invariably have the use my hands to clean them off.  I guess in may not matter much but I feel like the extra mud/dirt that is stuck on the point will affect the weight enough.  Your opinion is that it does not?
